Bailey STAFF WRITER Galveston’s traditional purple, green and gold Mardi Gras colors will fly alongside the red-white-and- blue French Tricolour each week end from today until Feb. 7, signify ing Galveston’s Mardi Gras cele bration, “Fete de France.” Dancie Perugini Ware, Galves ton’s Mardi Gras coordinator, said the celebration’s French theme was chosen to honor the bicentennial of the French Revolution. Mardi Gras! Galveston 1989 was granted official bicentennial status by the Washington-based American Committee on the French Revolu tion, and it will mark Texas’ first of ficial observance of the revolution during'its bicentennial year. Ware said, “The 1989 bicenten nial commemoration holds special significance for Texas because France was the first country to rec ognize the Republic of Texas.” Included among activities and special events marking the cele bration will be six parades, 12 masked balls, two weekends of musi cal entertainment, art and cultural exhibitions and much more, Ware said. There also will be a special chil dren’s entertainment area. Commemorative sporting events will include a rugby tournament, a tennis classic, a 4-mile run along the Galveston Island Trolley route and the fifth annual St. Mary’s Hospital Mardi Gras Run through the island’s historic east end, Ware said. The musical entertainment will include performances by musical greats ranging from Fats Domino to Otis Day and The Knights. Mardi Gras! Galveston 1989 will come to a climax Feb. 4. when the Grande Night Parade, with its 15; pier-mache floats depicting i| “Fete de France” theme, winds way through the island streets,Wj said. T he parade will travel fromSt wall Boulevard to the Strand ft trict, and will be joined by them walking heads, several bands, In dreds of costumed characters,jut ers, clowns and many others,: said.

NIGHTS SWtMCHRt 7 NIGHTS OONTWAIT' CALL TO, 1-800 Century Club marks 25th anniversary By Mia B. Moody REPORTER The Texas A&M Century Club, a million dollar fundraiser for cam pus-related projects, is celebrating its silver anniversary this year. “Without the Century Club, $30 million would not have been possi ble,” said Jim Jeter, associate exec utive director of the Association of Former Students. “The Century Club has raised $43 million in the past 25 years,” he said. “Without it we estimate that we would have raised only $13 million.” The money the Century Club raises is unrestricted and can be used for any project the Association of Former Studepts wishes to sponsor. “Some of the major programs that the Century Club helped to initiate are the President’s Endowed Schol arship, the Texas A&M Placement Office, the Information Center, the Office of Student Recruitment and many more,” Jeter said. Every former Texas A&M student is automatically a member of the As sociation of Former Students, but to become a member of the Century Club, a person must donate at least Business fair to feature 90 national companies $100 a year. Century Club members are di vided into groups by how much money they donate: members donat ing $250 or more are designated sil ver, members donating $500 or more are designated gold and those giving $1,000 or more are desig nated diamond. Members can also become Endowed Diamond Century Club members. “To become a member of the En dowed Diamond Century Club, a person must give a gift of $15,000, which can be given over a three-year period,” Jeter said. “The interest from this money is put into the an nual fund enabling a member to keep their Aggie spirit alive for many years after they die.” Jeter believes the new Clayton Williams Jr. Alumni Center has in creased the visual image of the Asso ciation of Former Students which has in turn increased donations. “The Century Club had ani crease in donations from $3.1 it lion m 1987 to $3.7 million in I98( he said. T he Century Club goal loril year is 25.000 members. •Depending, on bre, "WeYjelivi 5pm-9pm 0 We Delh “If we reach our goal, weexpt donations to exceed $4 milliotl Jeter said.
